VZ Clock Spring Replacement

[rebecca22]

Hello. I need to replace the Clock Spring in my Steering Column (I damaged the old one). Is it difficult? Does anyone know the procedure. I can remove the airbag and wheel ok.
Thanks

Hey bec, once you get your wheel and airbag off its quite simple. you need to remove the steering column covers top pull towards you and up. The bottom cover has one screw at the back i dropped my fuse panel to get to it. once they are gone you should see the conection to the clock spring go ahead and unplug it. then you will need a torx set to undo the old spring. Once that is done its the reverse to replace

Oh also you need take make sure your new clock spring is centred otherwise when you turn your wheel you will snap the new one! Try locking your wheels fully to the right before you start, then mark the wheel to the steering column with a pen so you can put the wheel back on straight. once wheel is off wind the new clock spring all the way to the right untill you feel it get tight (DONT FORCE IT) then fit the wheel back on in line with the mark and line up the clock spring ofcourse at the same time. I wish you luck just make sure you are gentle with everything dont force it!
